Currently I am the Business and Industry section editor for the upcoming Encyclopedia of Appalachia. I have just completed two essays on the depiction of the trans-Appalachian frontier and its heroes for the _Columbia Companion to American Film_. Additionally, I am working on a series of essays about Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. While working on that project I am investigating the possibility of a biography about Harry Warner. I also act as the curator and archivist of Sergeant Alvin C. York's papers and continue to work on a biography of his life

Forthcoming: _From Frontier to Interstates: An Investigation of Transportation and Architecture in Eight Upper Cumberland Counties_ (co-written with W. Calvin Dickinson to be published by Hillsboro Press, Nashville, 2001).
